THE DERELLAS - High Rise Supersize (*A REVIEW*)
The DeRellas never fail to deliver the
Punk'n'Glam goods, and their latest package the 3 track High Rise
Super size single is no exception, it careers along with riotous and righteous gay abandon, like a Ford Capri on the Rock'n'Roll highway. The two DeRellas tunes; High Rise Supersize and Something To Say
kiss and punch you in the face like the early Manic Street Preachers
and The Ruts and a cover of The Sweets Fox On The Run, stuffs and
pads the box out nicely. Released on Rockaway Beach Records! Order it from The DeRellas Store for a
bit of streetwise sparkle during these trouble torn times, and
remember when you stick it to the man and kick against the shits keep a smile on yer face and a
song in yer heart!
“HIGH RISE SUPER SIZE, WHAT YOU GONNA
DO ABOUT IT?!”

MARCHING ON.... A FEW THOUGHTS!
Draconian new laws about what the
public can or can't do in public places; No tree climbing in parks,
or kite flying on playing fields. Oxfam save the children for their
exploitation.
Re-writing history with an air brush.
Bad news buried like babies in the rubble of the Syrian city of
Ghouta, or like cars on the snow covered A30 as a result from the
winter storm they called the 'Beast from The East'
Human rights, human wrongs. War
crimes, knife crimes. Human life is cheap, but our children pay the
price in a morally bankrupt world. Gun crazy! Mass shootings in
Amerika, a common place national disgrace, as are the stabbings on
the streets of British towns and cities.
Where are we going? People cross
minefields of identity; sexual and cultural. A fear of offence or
violence in a cotton wool nation where common sense becomes rare as
smart phones turn people dense. In the information age many are ill
informed and misled to the point of possibly voting away Britain's
future. In a flat screen slumber people believe the unicorn promises
of the politicians and the advertisers that we can't do without what
they are selling.... There is an alternative....Don't buy their shit!

BETTER RE(A)D THAN DEAD!
The Jeremy Corbyn spy story/smear.
Truth or Fiction, you decide! It's about discrediting the opposition,
It aint sputnik science.... So what if there's a soviet skeleton in
JC's cupboard, that was the past, meanwhile in the present the
British government are happy to take the rouble from Russian
oligarchs who are slowly buying up the country for their future. So
whose the bigger threat to 'national security'? Socialism is about
the social, Conservatism is about the con!

WHO KNOWS WHAT'S TRUE OR NOT, JUST DON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!
The hypnotised never lie.
Fakery / Trickery / Tricksters and Jokers. Dangerous times,
Dangerous minds. Smoke and mirrors The hypnotised cannot see. The
truth police....Who watches the watchers? Fake news? Truth and
censorship who decides what is true. Government power tyranny and
totality. Who controls the media has the power to control the minds
of the masses!
Madmen in Authority What's
their problem with fake news? Or is the problem that the powers that
we let be don't like what they hear or uncomfortable truths are
revealed. As the sands of time pass they show there were different
grains of truths to the stories we were told. For example
Piers Morgan, resigned as
editor of Daily Mirror after the paper published a fake picture of
troops torturing Afghan prisoners, at the time it was denounced as
being made up news. A couple of years latter when the truth came
out, it turns out that troops did carry out abuse and torture of
prisoners.
Alternative facts and
conspiracy theories ask questions when the mainstream answers are
questionable. The truth is stranger than f(r)iction. I heard on the
radio recently that there are proposals to set up a government
department for fake news. I don't know if this is true or not, but
the frightening thing is that I can see this happening in the not too
distant future.
A Miss-information society,
is being constructed in front of our eyes, a future reality where big
lies can be disguised and dismissed as fake news, because nobody
will know what is real or not. A virtual reality of tweets, postings
and intsagram messages compete with the state sanctioned discourse of
events, information overload.
We are not in a good
place. The number of Suicides is rising, Crime is rising,
homelessness is rising and the gap between the rich and poor is
widening. So what does the Con-Government do....continues to cut
numbers of police, builds unaffordable housing that is bought by
foreign investors not to live in, all the while manipulating the
statistics and using the private sector to do the jobs of the state,
there by washing their hands of any responsibility for the outcomes
when it all falls down, and then they blame the people and make them
pay. Now is the time stand together, just like those who took to the
streets of London a couple of weeks ago to protest about cuts in the
NHS, not that anyone watching the BBC news that evening would have
known it happened, because it wasn't reported. We are in this
together, it's just that they don't want us to know it, because if
differences were put aside people would find they had much more in
common than they had been led to believe they had. A real United
Kingdom is something that those in power do not want, because it
would mean they would be out of a job and in the hands of the
people.... and that's the truth of the matter.
JACQUES DERRIDA Says....
....“Capitalism's media triumph conceals
the truth that it has never been more fragile, threatened,
catastrophic. Something else has surpassed both the Marxism
figure-headed by a totalitarian Soviet bloc and it's liberal free
market opponent. This 'something' is a set of hypereality
transformations in the spheres of science, technology and economics
which put our traditional notions of 'democracy' in grave doubt.”

THE MISTAKES - Anti-Social Media (*A REVIEW*)
Anti-Social Media is the debut album from the south coast of England's premier punk rockers.... The Mistakes from Poole in Dorset, and it goes a bit like this....It's a twelve track treat; An old skool new skool punk rock breakout that brings the past to the present and takes it into the future, think....UK Subs, Subhumans and Rancid, and then some! Power chords, pounding drums, luscious guitar licks and meandering bass lines bleed from the speakers. It's a 100mph charge; fast, frantic and furious laced with twists of Ska; thrashy and tuneful with catchy choruses, it's toe tapping, head banging and fist thumping stuff.... and it will blow your ears off! These are powerful and passionate songs, they are address's to a nation in distress, a hollering voice of hope and dissent, anthems for the underdogs that refuse to quit in an age of austerity, anxiety, alienation and anger. A slab of skanking socially aware rabble rousing street punk which comes straight from the heart, kicks you in the guts, leaves a smile on yer face and makes yer brain think. What more could you ask from an Album/CD/Download? Anti-Social Media is out now on Never BeQuiet Records. and the band can be found here on facebook. You'd be making a big mistake if you didn't check 'em out!

TONY JUDT Says....
....“Those who assert that 'the system'
is at fault,or who see mysterious manoeuvrings behind every
political misstep, have little to teach us. But the disposition to
disagree, to reject and to dissent-however irritating it may be when
taken to extremes-is the very lifeblood of an open society. We need
people who make a virtue of opposing mainstream opinion. A democracy
of permanent consensus will not long remain a democracy.” - in ILL FARES THE LAND

HAVING A FIGHT ON BOXING DAY!
Members of Parliament mass-debate,
watching porn at the taxpayers expense. Another sex scandal, another
distraction as Benefits freeze in cold Brexit times. The poor get
no more, but will have to pay more if the food banks don't provide, and the wankers talk of social mobility when the reality is an increase in the numbers of the young and old living in poverty.
A Nobel Peace Prize winner presides of
ethnic cleansing, as a Racist, Sexist Bigot leads the so called free
world. This isn’t fake news, this is the fucking truth! It's a
crazy world, cos those that run it are crazy people with egos driven
by power and greed.
Populist fuelled self protection and
self-preservation. On one level isolationism and inward looking
politics, but on an economic level Donald Trump, with his roots in
business knows that there's still more money to be made and an
ideology to be sold.
Tears are wept across the world after
Donald Trump declares that the US recognises Jerusalem as the capital
of Israel. There's nothing like being diplomatic when it comes to
the geo-politricks in the Middle East, the same goes for North Korea.
After a year why has no-one assassinated this Global Village Idiot?
Well it's not time to cut the puppets strings yet, he's still got a
job to do for the powers and forces that really run the world,
because there's still money to be made.
Robert Mugabe, removed from power with
help from the Chinese and other powers. New markets and supply’s
can be forged and mined; minerals for the mobile phones that have
taken over the lives of people across the world.
It's time for intervention in the
peoples heads before they surrender their minds to accepting
everything they have been told and are continued being told; packaged
in the wrapping of progress when Smart Phones make people thick!
How much longer will people buy the
shit that the idea of having economic choices means people are free.
The poor have no choice! And if those that can afford to have a
choice thought about it and realised that their Monthly Credit card
and mortgage repayments were shackles that kept them chained to the
machine sentenced to either a 9 to 5 stretch, flexitime or working
from home in a prison cell, with no time for anything else. Children
farmed out to to Nursery's and Day Care Centres, cos one person can't
pay all the bills. Benefits for mum's to return to work. Who am I
to judge? Because we all make our choices, or take our chances!
A few years back people were told
Diesel Cars are good, and just like good consumers they succumbed to
the seduction of car adverts a reality where Sex sells sports cars to
men with small penises. Dissatisfaction guaranteed, because now the
people who bought into the idea are now gonna be charged more in
congestion charges as diesel is now become bad!
Free market global economics with its
liberal checks and balances have left the world unbalanced. Where the
few have a lot and the many have nothing. The someone’s get
something for nothing when money is banked in offshore tax havens.
The more the quantity the less the quality some make do
and mend others discard and spend. The more you have the more you
don't really need.
Affluence and opulence shoved down
peoples throats in magazines and on TV; The lifestyles of the rich
and famous; ideals for the people to attain to Champagne lifestyle on
Lemonade wages; credit cards provide for what people have been
deceived to think that they need. It's all up for sale.
Grenfell Tower stands; a
burnt out shell in London’s richest borough where the poor paid a
high price for the riches vanity. Royal Family porn
throughout the media of both the living and dead, another wedding to
distract the nation, another royal mouth for the people to feed, but
hey they are good for Ukplc as they bring in the dollars and yens. A
nation seduced by a new breed of media savy royalty and their middle
England normality. The only say they'll ever have is the one they
are allowed to have, another bunch of puppets in a higher powers
hands.
Terrorist attacks; Here's a couple of
recent news stories 1) Those that committed the acts of terror in
Manchester and London this year were known to MI5. 2) MI5 foiled a
plot to kill the Prime Minister. What does this tell us, well....1)
They are doing a shit job! 2) They are doing a great job, or 3) We
shouldn't believe a word MI5 or the media are telling us. Or possibly
even 4) That it's all one big conspiracy that has been going on and
is still going on post 9/11. Go figure!
Conflicts and Wars across the world.
The displaced people denied by those that deplaced them. Dead
children and drowned babies, collateral damage, population control,
humanity starts to go AWOL charities tug at heart strings and bank
accounts to pay the price for governments involvement in the
massacres and atrocities. The Armed rebels and Foreign Army’s are
firing guns and dropping bombs supplied by the West. Both sides are
fighting for power with the arms manufacturers greed. Conflict
equals cash and death sells on the battlefields of Political and
Religious ideology.
I'm puzzled. All these puzzle-books,
brainteasers that people do. If they are developing their
brainpower, why are many of them thick? It's all about
thinking....The brain should be used to think out of the box we have
been put in. Who benefits, who pays, and what's the
cost. Follow the money! Who really is in control? The puppets caught with their trousers down who
lie and say what they want the people to hear to get their vote, or
the big businesses that people buy from.

JD HANGOVER - Self-titled E.P (*A REVIEW*)
No digital recording techniques here, just 100% pure analogue, just like Rock'n'Roll used to sound; Rough, Raw, Reverberating and Real. A simple drum machine keeps the basic beat going as the guitars slide and scratch their way into your skull. Spit dribbling vocals drool and drawl the nightmare tales that make up JD Hangovers self-titled EP. It is collection of six songs all delivered with a mean, moody, minimal and monotone menace. It's....“a deadly wasted sound.” Think Primal Scream, Suicide and Lightnin' Hopkins and then some, because JD Hangover have created and crafted their own sound; This is music to make Jools Holland shit his pants! Go check 'em out at their facebook page. You wont be disappointed!

GENERAL RANTINGS AND PRIVATE RAGEINGS!
In a scared new world disorder the suffering and pain of others is also entertainment and pleasure for others, people seek solace that their live may be shit, but it's not as shit as others. You've been framed by the police interceptor nightmare neighbour from hell! Reality shows just how fucked up things have become. A hundred+ TV Channels 24/7 viewing. The Technological Valium and chewing gum for the eyes has made people blind and turned them stupid they see and hear nothing. Even the so called fake news is fake; statistics are interpreted and manipulated to support whatever narrative they are being used to support.
Brexit-Smegxit; Lies and more lies
brings the truth closer, that the powers that we let be haven't got a
fucking clue about any Brexit Deal, they are making this shit up as
they go along, and at the end of the negotiations the people are
gonna be expected to live in it. Hey Ho Lets go Remoaners of the
world unite we have nothing left to lose because the power of the
media and the manipulating politicians created and then preyed on the
fear and ignorance of people who voted everything away in a belief
that Britain is so Great we can go it alone, well here's some news
for you....we can't and history will show that this was the case.
Truth or lies, fact or fiction, it's all a mass of contradictions.

THE CRAVATS - Dustbin Of Sound (*A REVIEW*)
Uncompromising and unconventional, a
mangled musical master piece. This is The Cravats first album in 37
years, and the 13 tracks stand up there with anything for example
Precinct, Your Driving Me, Rub Me Out and
many more that The Shend and his cohorts in The
Cravats have recorded over the years. Original sax player Svor Naan
has returned to the fold for their latest mishmashup. It is a
pulsating riot in toytown: wound up and wired, weird and wonderful;
the saxophone squeaks, squeals and squalls. Guitars slice'n'dice
as the rhythms twist, turn and throb. Dustbin of Sound takes the
listener to a place of post punk peculiarity, avant guard, jazz and
mutant rock'a'billy. Dark, dense, and almost gothic in places with
abstract and surreal lyrical statements that fit, reflect and comment
on the mixed up and messed up 21st Century world that we
are living in where “Jingo Bells go clang clang clang” This is excentric Rock'n'Roll at its most excellent.
If you like The Cravats you'll love it,
if its all new to you because you fancied something a bit different,
you'll love it. If you're into; The Fall, Hawkwind, Nick Cave or
Frank Zappa, you've guessed it....you'll love it. Available Now on
Overground Records.
